And I think I may be approaching this sentiment. I've been a fan since the first album, didn't pick up
Chutes Too Narrow until maybe a year after it came out, but got
Wincing the Night Away the day it came out. I liked it from the beginning but it had to grow on me a bit. I think over time,
Oh, Inverted World has become somewhat dated (most lo-fi of the bunch) though still great,
Chutes Too Narrow has revealed some parts that kind of make me cringe even though it's also great on the whole, and
Wincing perhaps is a bit more polished without going overboard. It's almost the perfect culmination. As I said, I'm
approaching the sentiment that
Wincing may be my favorite, but I'm not quite there.
Oh, Inverted World may still be my fav but they're all very close for me. Kind of like
Pinback...4 albums and I can't pick a favorite, they are all equally good even though the sound has evolved.
